Uninvited Guests - Navigating Life with Adult Children, Part 1

Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

For the first 18 years of a child's life, their parent plays a critical role as caregiver, guide, and mentor. But what happens when kids leave the safety of home and go off on their own? How does a parent's role change? In this program, Chip talks to author Jim Burns about his book “Doing Life with Your Adult Children.” They discuss the new complexities of the parent-child relationship and highlight the boundaries that parents need to set to empower their kids without intruding on their lives.
